Important COVID 19Telehealth Update

Yesterday, in response to the US Public Health Emergency due
to COVID19, CMS expanded access to telehealth.
Effective immediately, providers will be allowed to conduct telehealth visits
with patients on non-HIPAA compliant “everyday technologies” such as Skype or
FaceTime. This is a short-term response
to a critical situation. We anticipate
practices will still need a long-term solution in order to provide compliant
telemedicine visits once the crisis is over.
We are greatly relieved that our
government has removed barriers for now and we are actively working on a longer
term network level solution to support our providers who wish to offer
telemedicine to their patients on an ongoing basis.

We will keep you abreast of updates from other payers as they become available.
